Having said this, Wang Ruohai sat down. Putting his hand on the enamel jar, he said: "Take a rest for a while. Let's drink some tea and talk about it. We have fought countless battles with the Jin people over the years, and many things are unclear. I have told you today, and I must have some other insights."
Only then did everyone regain their minds and think carefully about what Wang Ruohai just said. Many things come to mind in connection with the Jin Army's southern invasion in recent years.
The Song Dynasty had conflicts between war, peace, and surrender. How could there be no conflicts within the Jin Kingdom? Moreover, the politics of the Jin Dynasty were rough and they did not hide their internal conflicts. Many times they simply pointed at their noses and scolded them in public, then turned around and drew their swords and started fighting directly. It's just that the Song Dynasty's intelligence work was not effective and they didn't pay attention to it, so they have never been able to figure it out.
Wang Xiaolie did not have the ability to send intelligence personnel to the Kingdom of Jin. I just pay attention to collecting them on a daily basis, and I have an eye liner who goes to Daming Mansion, so I have a rough idea. This time around Wushu, how to fight is very important. After several days and nights of hard work, I have figured out a rough idea.
After discussion, everyone finally understood why Wang Xiaolie had been unable to make up his mind to encircle and annihilate Wu Shu.
After drinking a few sips of tea, Wang Ruohai stood up and said: "Everyone should understand that this battle cannot hurt Wu Shu's life, nor can Wu Shu's entire army be wiped out. But shouldn't we stop fighting? No! We still have to fight. Fighting, there’s just a way.”
After speaking, Wang Ruohai pointed to the situation map and said: "The current troop deployment of the Jin Army and our army is as follows. As for the Jin Army, the Nianhan Army on the western front is located in Yunzhong and cannot go south for a while. Wanyan Yinshu can have about 10,000 troops , stationed in Taiyuan Prefecture, unable to send out troops. Wanyan Huonv is now stationed in Yuanzhou, plotting the road to Jingyuan. Yinliduo is stationed in Fengxiang Prefecture, and divides his troops to attack Longzhou and Jiezhou. As mentioned before, we attack Wushu, Wanyan Huonv is likely to sit back and watch the success or failure. The one who is most likely to return to the pass to aid is Yinliduo. Privy Zhang sent a letter saying that he will do his best to hold Yinliduo away so that he cannot withdraw his troops. The minimum time limit given is One month. In other words, we have one month to deal with Wu Shu."
Hearing this, Shao Yun couldn't help it. Asked: "I don't know how to deal with Wu Shu? I can't destroy him."
Wang Ruohai said: "We will talk about this later. Let's talk about our arrangements first. Now Weiyang's three thousand troops occupy Jingzhao Mansion. On the one hand, they persuade the people to withdraw south and replenish Dengzhou and Xiangyang. On the other hand, they are probably not lucky enough to escape. Food and grass were distributed to the local people. Not only the people in Jingzhao Prefecture, but also the people in surrounding prefectures and counties. Once the army of Yinliduo turned back to attack the key points, Wei Yang abandoned Jingzhao Prefecture and entered Shangzhou from Lantian. Shangzhou Shaoxing has sent troops to occupy Lantian, and the road is smooth."
At this point, Wang Ruohai emphasized his tone and said to everyone: "Everyone, please remember, in this battle, the return of troops by Niuliduo is the signal. Once Niuliduo reoccupies Jingzhao Mansion, we will withdraw our troops immediately. Shao Yun led the Shaanzhou soldiers and horses Return to Guozhou and withdraw to Lushi County together. Xue Cheng's troops will go to Shou'an and withdraw to Ruzhou. The rebels on the Hedong Road will naturally return to their villages. At this time, the battle is over."
After taking a sip of tea, Wang Ruohai looked at the crowd and said, "The following are the principles for fighting against Wushu!"
Hearing this, everyone straightened their backs and looked at Wang Ruohai.
Wang Ruohai said: "Zhen Fuding's strategy for dealing with Wu Shu is to trap him in Mianchi and grind him to death! Shao Yun's troops guard Mianchi City tightly and must not let Wushu break through the city. Otherwise, they must We went to Shaanzhou to defend, but the effect was poor!"
Shao Yun stood up, crossed his hands and said: "I obey the order! As long as there is one person in our army, Wu Shu will never let Wu Shu break the city!"
Wang Ruohai nodded. He also said: "Xue Cheng and the Hedong Rebel Army must cut off Wushu's retreat. First, small groups of troops in Wushu's army are not allowed to wander out. Whenever small groups of troops come out, whether for reconnaissance or to grab food, they must Resolutely eliminate it! We must ensure that everyone in Wushu's army is in danger and dare not leave the military camp! Second, cut off Wushu's food route! Wushu's food and grass must be collected by Meng Bangxiong, all in Luoyang. From Luoyang to Mianchi The mountain roads of one hundred and fifty miles will make it impossible for them to transport grain! If there are fewer troops to guard the grain and grass, we will send troops to destroy it. If there are too many troops to guard the grain and grass, there will not be enough food on the road."
Xue Cheng, Li Songchen, Li Shi, Liang Xing, Zhao Yun and other generals stood up together and crossed their hands to receive orders. Their army, including Zhang Qi, has more than 10,000 capable soldiers, enough to guard the road from Luoyang to Mianchi.
Wang Ruohai said to Zhang Qi: "Xue Cheng and the Hedong Rebel Army will guard the north road. General Zhang can tell Dong Kuan to guard the south road. Your army totals nearly 20,000 people, so you should not be afraid of Wu Shu's army."
Gu Zhangqi crossed his hands and said: "General, I will obey your orders!"
Wang Ruohai said: "It only takes one month to make Wu Shu's life worse than death! Even if his army is safe and sound, the experience during this period is enough for him to remember for a lifetime! In short, the strategy of suppressing Wu Shu is not to Shu's life will cost him half of his life! In addition, all ministries must pay attention to the relocation of the people around Mianchi. In addition to those in the plain areas, those in the mountainous areas must also be relocated. To prepare for future Jin Army revenge. The people uniformly walked to Shou'an to Ruzhou, There are arrangements there.”
Speaking of this, Wang Ruohai said: "It's getting late, let's drink tea for a while and discuss it. Tomorrow morning, we will still be here, let's share our opinions. The governor ordered that everyone should understand this battle How to fight, we must also listen to everyone's opinions. I will return early the day after tomorrow. Before that, everyone can talk if you have anything to say. - It's late, Commander Xue ordered people to prepare dinner."
Xue Cheng obeyed the order. Go out and order the soldiers to prepare food and wine. The army killed several sheep and prepared several jars of wine. It’s the Chinese New Year, so it’s natural to have some fun. These people are from far away from home and it is rare to get together, so naturally they cannot be treated badly.
Academician Lin sat in his room reading a book without squinting. Although he was very curious about what was being discussed in the yard, he knew that it was a major military matter and he would never ask unless others talked about it. Not only will I not ask, I will never eavesdrop or peek. Even his wife and children were left in the room by him.
Hearing the sound of sheep being slaughtered outside, the wife said, "Sir, they are preparing to cook. It's getting late, so we also need to eat."
Lin Xuexue said: "Have you seen the people in the corridor come out?"
The wife stretched her head out to take a look and said, "Not yet."
Lin Xuexue said: "If you don't come out, they are still discussing things. Don't go out!"
The wife had no choice but to take the child and sit down aside, looking at the roof in boredom.
Less than half an hour later, Wang Ruohai ordered them to disperse and everyone was ready to have dinner. When I walked out of the shed, I saw the setting sun shining slantingly, and the scenery in the yard was extremely beautiful. After looking at it for a while, he said to Zhang Qi: "Where is the owner of this house? It seems that he is a scholar, so he can have a few chats."
Zhang Qi said: "Counsellor, Lin Xuegui is a very sensible person. When he saw us discussing matters here, he locked himself in the study and never listened to a word. If the counselor doesn't give orders, he will only leave the room after our people disperse. Come."
"That's it." Wang Ruohai nodded. "This is a wonderful man. We have finished our discussion, let's go and ask him to come out."
After saying that, he arrived in front of Lin Xuexue's room. Wang Ruohai said: "It is very inconvenient for academics to discuss matters in their homes. We have finished our discussion and it is already getting late. How about inviting academics to have a few drinks tonight?"
After hearing this, Xuexue Lin hurriedly put down the book in his hand, opened the door and came out. He bowed his hand to Wang Ruohai and said, "Thank you, sir."
